Chapter 666: The Battle of Seeking Rain Mountain (2)
Zhang Xianzhong said disapprehantly: "King Chuang is too careful, a few spies may go to have fun, and they will come back after a while, no need to make a fuss." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Since the eastward advance of the coalition army, Gao Yingxiang has been helpless against his laziness: beat and scold, people are not his subordinates; Persuade it, people don't eat oil and salt at all. If it weren't for the fact that they did their best during the war, they would have parted ways a long time ago. Now seeing that he still looks indifferent, he can't help but blurt out: "Since you think there won't be anything wrong, then you go ahead?" ā
Zhang Xianzhong was stunned for a moment, and then a dissatisfaction rose in his heart. It's one thing to see if there's danger ahead, but it's another thing to treat him as cannon fodder, even if there is no ghost shadow in front of you, this arrangement is still very unpleasant.
However, he didn't have a seizure, but just replied sullenly: "Since King Chuang is not at ease, I will go ahead." ā
Gao Yingxiang felt that something was wrong after saying this, but the words were all out, and there was no reason to take it back, just hummed, which was a response.
Zhang Xianzhong saw that the other party didn't even say a polite word, and he was even more displeased, so he turned around and left.
Returning to his array, Sun Kewang greeted the woman with his arms in his arms, and asked as he handed it over, "Father-in-law, what is King Chuang looking for you?" ā
Zhang Xianzhong was in a bad mood, lost his interest in playing with women, and waved his hand: "This woman has been rewarded to you!" ā
Sun Kewang was overjoyed in his heart, withdrew his arms holding the woman, and couldn't help but glance at her - he had coveted this daughter of the prefect of Chuzhou for a long time, but he was first taken by his father-in-law, and he had always been worried about it. The woman lamented in her heart when she heard that she had a new owner, and while praying that the young man would have mercy on her, she squeezed out a flattering smile to Sun Kewang.
Seeing the woman's smiling face, Sun Kewang felt comfortable in his heart, and he couldn't wait to do things with her immediately, but reason told him that his father-in-law was in a bad mood, and this matter was more important than a woman. ā
Zhang Xianzhong shook the horsewhip hatefully and slapped it on the young woman's buttocks impartially, and the woman was so pained that she screamed.
"The suspicious ghost surnamed Gao always suspects that there is an ambush in front of me, I just said it in passing, he really let me go ahead as cannon fodder!"
Sun Kewang wanted to answer, but when he saw the pain of the beauty in his arms, her face was discolored, and her tears fell down in big pieces, and she was a little distressed, and she forgot to answer for a while. The woman was whipped in pain, and remembering that she had fallen from a prefect's daughter to a rogue's plaything, and her family members had all lost their lives, and the grievances that she had endured for many days broke out, and she couldn't help but sob.
Zhang Xianzhong's temper was not good, and when he saw that the woman dared to cry in front of him, he became angry in his heart, pulled out his waist knife, and cut off her head with one knife. His knife skills are very exquisite, and the blade can cut through a woman's neck, but it does not hurt Sun Kewang in the slightest.
The blood rose to the sky, and a beautiful head spun around and fell to the ground, its eyes wide open, as if it couldn't believe what had happened to them, and tears hung in the corners of its eyes.
Sun Kewang couldn't react for a while, holding the woman's still warm and soft body in his arms, he looked at the head on the ground blankly, and he didn't feel the blood from the broken neck.
Zhang Xianzhong didn't take killing people seriously at all, and continued: "Lao Tzu also figured it out, he always followed the surname Gao to mix too much, after arriving in Hubei, we will divide the troops, if we really want to work in partnership with others, it is better to pull the old man back together, this old boy heard that he is fighting very lively in Hubei......
After saying a few words, seeing that Sun Kewang did not respond, he frowned and said, "Are you listening to your father?" ā
Sun Kewang trembled, came to his senses, put the woman's body across the saddle, and replied, "Father-in-law is wise, it's time to divide the army with King Chuang." ā
Zhang Xianzhong nodded: "You think so too, right?" Among the four, my father thinks that you have the most brilliant brain and can keep up with my train of thought, the three of them only know how to fight and kill, and you will inherit my mantle in the future, you are the most hopeful! ā
This sentence made Sun Kewang's originally cold heart instantly warm, and he quietly pushed the woman's body to the ground, shook the blood on his clothes, and replied: "My father-in-law loves me, but I dare not be ashamed." ā
"But now I can't turn my face with the surname Gao, and then go our separate ways when we get to Hubei." Zhang Xianzhong ordered, "Order our people, go to the front of the surname Gao, Lao Tzu's words count, and he can't be allowed to see jokes." ā
The ranks of the coalition forces have changed, from marching in unison to Zhang Xianzhong's men in front and Gao Yingxiang behind. In order to behave in front of Zhang Xianzhong, Sun Kewang volunteered to lead the troops as a pioneer to walk in the forefront, and after traveling a few miles, he arrived near Qiuyu Mountain.
Sun Kewang, who originally thought that the journey would go smoothly, was surprised to find that a large number of officers and soldiers suddenly appeared in front of him, from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain, densely packed, and the black muzzles of the guns were exposed in the crowd. He couldn't help but rub his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was no change, people and cannons were there, not hallucinations, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
The vanguard of the Wandering People's Army subconsciously stopped the pace of advancement, and the troops behind did not know what was happening in front of them, but they were still advancing, huddled together with the vanguard troops, and the order of the army began to be chaotic.
Zhang Xianzhong personally patted his horse and arrived, and scolded: "What are you doing, why don't you go, blocking the way of the army?" ā
Sun Kewang pointed ahead blankly, speechless, Zhang Xianzhong looked in the direction of his finger, and suddenly gasped. When did such a strict military discipline appear in Anhui, and the soldiers and horses who could not change their faces when they saw tens of thousands of troops approaching? Where did they come from, why haven't they seen it in Hezhou and Chuzhou before.
It can be seen with the naked eye that almost all of this army is armed with bird guns, and there are many cannons in the array, and most importantly, they can resist firing a single shot when they see the army approaching, which is completely different from the other bird guns in the imperial court, which usually fire their guns without waiting for the opponent to approach, and then watch the opponent take advantage of the opportunity to approach, and the bird gun in his hand becomes a burning stick - it is not a good stubble at first glance.
"Father-in-law, what now?" After Sun Kewang came back to his senses, he asked Zhang Xianzhong for instructions.
Zhang Xianzhong was entangled for a while, gritted his teeth and said: "No matter which way this army of soldiers and horses is, we can't turn back when we get here, and if we go back, we will be intercepted by Hong Chengchou." Tell the brethren that the firearms are fired at a very long interval, and that they will rush together to take this hill and clear the way for the army! ā
